Nice driving rock song. Cool Ebow in the middle and some good harmonies.

This song is somewhat tribal or has a native american style of lamentation about it. Minimalistic instrumentation supports the unique vocals and the hard learned lesson.

Rocker full of angst, disgust, and other demoralized behavioral traits. 'Guitar solo' in the middle section is an Ebow.

Rock General

Speaking To Animals arose after the dissolution of another band. Steve Rose, Butch Karn, and Jim McFarlen regrouped to strike out in a direction aimed directly away from the conventional blues rock genre, where they had met in their previous format.
